Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Massachusetts, the narrative unfolds during a pivotal time in Nathaniel Hawthorne's life, following the completion of "The Scarlet Letter." Relocating to Lenox, he draws inspiration from the changing seasons, particularly the transformative effect of autumn's frost on his creativity. This period of reflection and vigorous writing culminates in the completion of his new work by mid-January, showcasing Hawthorne's connection to nature and its influence on his literary output.
